1. There are 60 combinations of 5 horses for this trifecta. That is, one of 5 horses can win, then one of 4 remaining horses can come in 2nd and lastly one of three remainders could come in third. Thus the math is 5 times 4 times 3 = 60 Your answer is one out of 60
2. it will cost $60 to get a winning dividend at a dollar apop=60 chances
